St Mary's School

[EduCativ]

St Mary's Calne is a leading girls' boarding and day school in the UK. Our aims are clear, focused, and forward-thinking: we develop in young women the academic and moral strength for them to become bold, resourceful, well-balanced individuals who can lead and shape our modern world. Moreover, we aim to:

• Deliver a broad and balanced curriculum with innovative teaching and learning and highly professional staff who aim to exceed the expectations of girls and parents, resulting in excellent academic outcomes for girls which go well beyond examination and which will motivate, challenge, encourage and inspire them.
• Provide a first-rate boarding experience and extra-curricular opportunities of great breadth and quality which will enable each girl to grow in experience, wisdom, and understanding.
• Focus on the individual wellbeing of every girl through a highly supportive and warm pastoral environment which will enable each girl to grow in kindness, open-mindedness, integrity, resilience, flexibility, wisdom, and empathy.
• Remain single-sex and limit our numbers so that we can continue to provide a diverse range of personalized opportunities and an individually tailored education of the highest quality.
• Recognize all kinds of achievement and success, including outstanding academic results, while placing value on effort and improvement throughout a girl’s time at the school so that girls have the confidence to strive for high standards.
• Provide an excellent environment for living and learning, featuring modern, high-quality classrooms, spaces, boarding house accommodation, and other facilities, adapted to the changing needs of girls, and a day-to-day experience of the school for girls that reflects our aim of quality in all that we do.
• Be an outward-facing organization, valuing our networks, developing our independent state school partnerships, our role in the community, and giving our girls a sense of responsibility and service to others be recognized for what we do so that we can build a culture of philanthropy to help us sustain our objectives.

Our vision serves to strengthen our position as national leaders in excellence in girls' education. We aim:

• To be a pre-eminent boarding and day school providing the highest quality in the education and development of girls.
• To create an environment that fosters every girl's well-being.
• To encourage girls to think broadly and deeply and to make connections both inside and outside the classroom.
• To develop an approach to life that makes them bold, resilient, open-minded, balanced, and ready for whatever the future holds.
